2016 Ford Galaxy 2.0L Diesel · EX16 ABC

The vehicle's current roadworthiness status appears stable following a successful MOT on 07 April 2026 at 156,944 miles. The recent history shows a pattern of minor testing irregularities rather than mechanical deterioration. The vehicle failed twice in short succession, specifically on 04 April 2026 and 24 February 2025, but cleared these issues to pass in both instances. This suggests the vehicle may have been presented for testing with minor, easily rectifiable issues that were addressed immediately, rather than a trend of worsening mechanical failure. The mileage accumulation is significant, with the vehicle covering approximately 12,931 miles between the February 2025 and April 2026 tests. Averaging roughly 15,694 miles per year over its ten-year lifespan, this vehicle has seen consistent, heavy usage. This high annual mileage places increased stress on wear-and-tear components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and drivetrain mounts. The data shows no evidence of long periods of inactivity, indicating a vehicle that has been driven regularly. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the underbody to check for structural corrosion, particularly around the subframes and sills, which is common on high-mileage Fords of this age. Given the high mileage, the condition of the suspension system and the integrity of the brake discs and calipers should be scrutinised. While the MOT records do not show specific recurring defects, the consistent high usage warrants a close look at the timing belt and water pump, as these are critical maintenance items for this engine type that often require replacement around this mileage interval.
